Verse 12 is found in chapter 15 of Deuteronomy. A Hebrew slave must be released in the seventh year and must not be sent away empty-handed. The owner must provide generously from his resources. The legislation transforms the memory of slavery in Egypt into a reason to limit slavery within Israel: those whom God delivered must treat their own brothers differently.
